Very bad teachers who keep screaming and shouting at pre kindergarten children. When this was raised with the principal, he seemed unbothered and unwilling to listen.
Posted by a parent on 12/2/2025Teachers just be laughing at the parents with the other teachers sharing the parents business!!!!! Unprofessional staff
Posted by a parent on 3/11/2025Teachers are very good , good staff and atmosphere for kids
Posted by a parent on 2/23/2025Best school in Jersey. Would recommend to parents.
Posted by a parent on 10/5/2023My child is in the dual language (Spanish & English) program. So far, we've had a wonderful experience and our daughter is learning Spanish well in this program (we are native English speakers at home). The program limits the number of students in the classroom and the kids stay with the same group

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school definitely teaches better things, but teachers need to pay attention to the bullying. My younger cousin was getting bullied and no one did anything about it, until his mother had to say something. They have fun activities and shows, but they need to get better at hosting them. Provides free bus tickets for students that need it, but only if you live far enough. The whole mental health thing doesn’t even help, the counseling is supposed to make it better but it really makes no difference, so they need to fix that. However, you can definitely make friends here, and can have an amazing time. They host many things, occasionally host field trips (for middle school..), and other fun events. Decent education.Student Review2mo ago - Dr. Michael Conti School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGenerally we were happy at this school for the 3 years we attended. However, the school’s mostly computer based assignments were really problematic in my view. Likely a JCPS-wide issue. Most of the teachers we had were great, bar one who generally just seemed checked out and done with teaching. Hands off, kids graded their own work. 504s are only followed when parents pressure the school. The principal is ok, perhaps a bit ineffective. The community is fantastic, and the PTO is really involved.Parent Review1y ago - Charles E. Trefurt School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSchool is good, my both kids study here. Some teachers have more focus on academics than others but overall they are supportive and kind. School has “hope” section for academically good students in 3rd to 5th grades. In hope sections students get a bit more challenging study material. Principal Pistillie is supportive of parents concerns and tries to solve them.Parent Review1y ago - Anthony J. Infante No. 31 Elementary School
